Per Fightful Select (subscription required), numerous wrestlers across multiple WWE brands have expressed ‘renewed optimism’ with Triple H running creative.

An NXT talent reportedly told Fightful that Dakota Kai being swiftly rehired was a great sign, making them hopeful for their future with the company.

Two top WWE talents reportedly noted that they were excited to not wrestle the same person each week.

The report noted that there was a lot of positivity surrounding Ciampa and Mustafa Ali’s spots on the card, with both of them given the opportunity to shine.

A top wrestler not currently with WWE reportedly pointed out the increased focus on the women’s division.

Fightful noted that the current backstage sentiment has changed a lot over the last few months, with many unhappy following the ‘chaotic’ Royal Rumble event in January.
